***Just a small note - the reason we resize before we add our words, is because if you resize after the words have been added, they become a bit fuzzy. Depending on how large or small you prefer your tags, you may have to adjust the size of the font. :-)***
Highlight your arrow layer (the bigger arrow). Set your background color to #f8becc. Grab your font tool.
